CBS Radio Workshop Volume 4 The CBS Radio Workshop debuted at the end of the Age of Classic Radio, which was a time of innovation and experimentation, especially in terms of radio drama. The ten-hour Volume 4 includes “All Is Bright”, a history of the famous Christmas song; “1489 Words”, which featured the debut of later film composer Jerry Goldsmith’s “The Thunder of Imperial Names”, which was written for a concert band and was based on a text piece by Thomas Wolfe; a two-part adaptation of Frederick Pohl and Cyril M. Cornbluth’s The Space Merchants, which offers a satirical look at rampant consumerism from the viewpoint of an advertising executive; Archibald MacLeish’s “Air Raid”, the series’ only re-broadcast, which had first been written for the 1938 Columbia Workshop. Aired during the Cold War era, it took on a sinister new meaning; Henry Fritch’s “The Endless Road”, about a road...

Encouraging news for NBC‘s off-cycle drama pilot After Hours, which is now titled The Night Shift. I hear the network has commissioned four backup scripts from the project, produced by Sony Pictures TV. The Night Shift, an ensemble medical show about a group of Army doctors who return to work the night shift together, was one of two drama pilots NBC ordered off-cycle, along with soapy mystery The Secret Lives of Husbands And Wives. The Night Shift, created by Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah, was originally developed by NBC last season. The network didn’t pick it up to pilot back then but kept it in contention with an order for a new script. The Night Shift was ordered to pilot in October with Pierre Morel directing and Eoin Macken, Jill Flint, Freddy Rodriguez, Ken Leung, Jeananne Goossen, Robert Bailey Jr and Brigid Brannagh starring. The project heated up...

This was Salisbury, Massachusetts big crime story of the day last night.

Faith-based movies that find success in mainstream Hollywood are few and far between. For every Passion of the Christ and Fireproof, there are a dozen or so films which never get a shot at being shown nationally in theaters. So it’s difficult to predict the outcome for To Save a Life, a story focused on two friends who face the harsh realities of high school cliques, the dramatic, downward spiral of someone who soon feels like an outcast, and how a single act can change the lives of many. And yet, Life made it to the big screen, so that hurdle alone has already been jumped.
Right away I was intrigued by the film’s PG-13 rating. This is very rare for a movie promoted on Christian radio stations, so I was curious how the film would balance the line of appealing to as wide an audience as possible while maintaining a Christian basis.
